Re: Ao no Exorcist

I think it was his name in the manga too. But Astaroth is one of the most common names for a demon lord you can find in fictional works: very powerful and ancient and so on. For example, there is an Astaroth in the shin megami tensei games and another one in Hellboy comic books.

Re: Ao no Exorcist

anya: I definitely agree with you. Rin in the anime seemed too nice and not brazen enough, especially when he tried defending Yui's story (thought it undercut Fujimoto's awesome factor too, because Fujimoto's the ultimate exorcist, he would've known if it was as simple as a hobgoblin). In the anime, he just seemed clumsy, whereas in the manga he would get violent.

I thought Fujimoto's introduction was greatly improved. They made him seem a lot more like a church father. Still, why the heck was there a boiler in the middle of church? Also, I'm glad they explained Yukio's absence from the house. Narrowing down the side characters appearing in the church was an improvement, making them a bit more human.

Meh, ED was the worst part. Alright song, but dull animation. That's fine as long as the actual episodes are good.

No, that kid wasn't Astaroth in the manga. (In the manga Astaroth is the King of Decay, I think he's one of the 8 demon kings, and the Coal Tar is the least powerful demon in it's domain.) But Fujimoto didn't kill it, he actually just vacated it from the human in the anime.

I didn't like the song either. It was just too jpop-dance for me.

actually it was kpop-like its a korean boyband whos is singing (just in japanese of course) .. i must say i liked the ending song, and they did a great fanservice for people who likes 2pm (the boyband), because the dance the guys in the ending is danceing, is the same dance as the boyband dances in their music video.. all about fan service. cant wait to see the Opening.. i love Uverworld.

Anyways, It wasn't my cup of tea :/. But is not like I can't stand the ED, I will deal with or skip it.

Re: Ao no Exorcist

Meh, I lost my taste for dance-y Kpop a while back. ;^^ I definitely hope the OP will be more rock, and much more heavy on the electric guitars (but that's unlikely.)

anya: Ooooh, that makes sense. Thought it was an old fashioned stove, didn't think it was a heater.

No, I meant roasting, not rusting. Roasting, as in a roast chicken.

Anyways, I'm not too happy with the voice of the antagonist in the previews of the next episode (people who have read the manga, you know who this is). He sounds like a creepy old man. I thought that guy would sound like it belonged from a biker gang, not a rest home.

Now you mention it.. i wondered, is Yukio also son of satan too? even if he dosent have any "satan powers" Or is it only Rin who is satans son? Cause as i understood it, it was something like a women were pregnant like all other womans, and then satan just gave (or "impregnate?") her childs with his power, but only one of them actually took the power (Rin) which means that yukio is NOT son of satan.. or did i missunderstod? .. in that case, looking away for Rin being satans son, he also have a real "human" father too, kinda.. right? Or did their mother actually sleep with satan? i doubt so.. :P
